That's insulting!

My niece, who knows me very well, gave me a calendar last year called, “An Insult a Day.” It’s one of my favorite calendars, ever! Here’s a few of the best from January through today:



The last bit of methane left in the intestine of the dead cow that is post-modernism.
~ critic Robert Hughes on Jeff Koon’s “Jeff in the Position of Adam” *

Men are such idiots, and I married their king.
~ Peg Bundy (Married With Children)


You’re enough to try the patience of an oyster!
~ Lewis Carroll

California has the most lawyers in the country and New Jersey has the most toxic waste sites. The reason? New Jersey got first choice!
~ Joan Rivers

He’s got two brain cells: one is lost and the other is out looking for it.
~ anonymous

Do you want me to accept you as you are – or do you want me to like you?
~ anonymous

Hunched in its ravine, it is a hard-bitten, proletarian town, populated by immigrants … from beyond the Carpathian mountains. Bingo parlors abound, as do establishments dealing in prosthetics.
~ journalist Peter Conrad about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in The Observer Review of London

She was a professional athlete – of the tongue.
~ Aldous Huxley

He who joyfully marches to music in rand and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake since, for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice.
~ Albert Einstein

She truly has the soul of a moth and the brain of a dead trout.
~ Scott Sandler, friend of actor James Woods, on Wood’s ex-girlfriend

Converse with any plankton lately?
~ anonymous


You look like a haggis with pointed toes. A tight old bladder skin holding together some rotting offal.
~ Saffron, to her mother after a Botox treatment on Absolutely Fabulous

Who among us has not gazed thoughtfully and patiently at a painting by Jackson Pollock and thought, “What a piece of crap”? *
~ critic Rob Long 1992


What she lacks in tact, she makes up for in being a complete moron.
~ political blogger John Amato



She gives lunatics a bad name.
~ Billy Crystal about Courtney Love

Do they ever shut up on your planet?
~ anonymous

She’s uglier than a lard bucket full of armpits.
~ Southern expression

* In "Dust Bunny" world, I'm an artist. In the real world, I'm a Nickelback fan so I really hate pompous needle-dick critics but a good insult is a good insult. That's the way I roll.

29 blew out from under the bed:

They knew everything and i knew everything else....

Brian Gardes said...

I love those. I wonder if I could get away with using those on middle school students.

trublmaka said...

I'm with you.. I LOVE a good insult.. if only my brain could contain more than how to change nappies, clean puke off polished floor boards without harsh chemicals or smell and every line to all the disney/pixar movies, I'd be able to recall some of these when the time is right!! lol

nitebyrd said...

Flyinfox ~ Yeah, they made me laugh, too!

Sage ~ TY!

Akelamalu ~ Me, too! I always need time to get my brain in gear.

Spiky ~ Nickelback, ROCKS! Listen for a new song due out 09/30. AbFab is one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

Riff ~ They are, aren’t they?

Jackie ~ I knew you’d get a charge out of the Pollock one.

DJ ~ OMG! Although I was late watching the video, it was hysterical!

Annie ~ I loves me some good insults!

Giggle ~ That “King” one is excellent, isn’t it?

Ron ~ Joan definitely can be very funny at times. She’s no Dane Cook but then who is?

Casdok ~ Good to see you! Just check your local bookstore.

Trixie ~ I only watched it once. The husband reminded me of my brother-in-law and I don’t like him much.

Rat Girl ~ Please forgive me for being horrid and not visiting you recently. I’m so bad. 

Anndi ~ Oh! I LOVE that one! LOL

Fire Byrd ~ I like that one, too! I used to have a sign in my kitchen that said, “I married Mr. Right. Mr. ALWAYS Right!

Garbonzo ~ Sure, why not? Oh! Wait … we must be kind and courteous to the little darlings now. Dammit!

Trublmaka ~ Oh! Girl!! You definitely need a grown-up night out!
